Insurance Time
It's that time. Time to put the insurance portfolio that exists in my garage out to tender again (well the ZX10 anyway).
I'm going to shotgun it this year and get quotes from every bastard to see how they compare. I'm currently with IC Frith (Old farts insurance) and I'll get quotes from Shannons and anyone else who's willing to take a shot at the big time. Don't know but I think I may have an inflated opinion of my value to these people as a valuable customer.
I'll post up here a comparo of how the quotes come in.
Happy happy me woohooooooo!!!!

Yeah I'm expecting them not to make the finals. Last year they were $300 dearer then IC Frith (but they offer over 40's and occasional use).
Did you give Shannons a go?

They just put mine for the 10 up to a little over a grand for 12 months and I haven't made any claims![]()
Problem is not many other companies insure a 10 for daily use
After shopping around I went with WesternQBE ... I think I am paying about $730
Shannons laughed at me when I told them I ride it to work every day and pretty much hung up on me at that point..... They have recently changed their policies though...
The world is round. It has no point.

What you were quoted is irrelevant.
Glen is diff age to you, lives in a different suburb, has a different
bike & different riding history.
Different risk = different premium
